CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2016-0117293 filed on Sep. 12, 2016, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The following description relates to a telescopic optical imaging system configured to include six lenses.

2. Description of Related Art

Telescopic optical imaging systems capable of performing long-distance imaging are commonly considerably large. For example, in the case of telescopic optical imaging systems, a ratio (TL/f) of a total length (TL) of an optical system to an overall focal length (f) of lenses is 1 or more. Thus, it may be difficult to mount a telescopic optical imaging system in a small, electronic product such as a portable terminal.

However, various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application. For example, the sequences of operations described herein are merely examples, and are not limited to those set forth herein, but may be changed as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application, with the exception of operations necessarily occurring in a certain order. Also, descriptions of functions and constructions that are well known in the art may be omitted for increased clarity and conciseness.

The features described herein may be embodied in different forms, and are not to be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many possible ways of implementing the methods, apparatuses, and/or systems described herein that will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

Although terms such as “first,” “second,” and “third” may be used herein to describe various components, regions, or sections, these components, regions, or sections are not to be limited by these terms. Rather, these terms are only used to distinguish one component, region, or section from another component, region, or section. Thus, a first component, region, or section referred to in examples described herein may also be referred to as a second component, region, or section without departing from the teachings of the examples.

The terminology used herein is for describing various examples only, and is not to be used to limit the disclosure. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “includes,” and “has” specify the presence of stated features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, operations, members, elements, and/or combinations thereof.

Due to manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, variations of the shapes shown in the drawings may occur. Thus, the examples described herein are not limited to the specific shapes shown in the drawings, but include changes in shape that occur during manufacturing.

The features of the examples described herein may be combined in various ways as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application. Further, although the examples described herein have a variety of configurations, other configurations are possible as will be apparent after an understanding of the disclosure of this application.

Examples provide an optical imaging system capable of performing long-distance imaging, which can also be mounted in a small-sized terminal. Subsequently, examples are described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Further, in the present specification, a first lens refers to a lens closest to an object (or a subject) from which an image is captured. A sixth lens refers to a lens closest to an imaging plane (or an image sensor). In an embodiment, all radii of curvature, thicknesses, TLs, image heights (IMG HT, a half (½) of a diagonal length of an imaging plane), and focal lengths of lenses are provided in millimeters (mm). A person skilled in the relevant art will appreciate that other units of measurement may be used. Further, in embodiments, all radii of curvature, thicknesses, OALs (optical axis distances from the first surface of the first lens to the image sensor), a distance on the optical axis between the stop and the image sensor (SLs), image heights (IMGHs) (image heights), and back focus lengths (BFLs) of the lenses, an overall focal length of an optical system, and a focal length of each lens are indicated in millimeters (mm). Further, thicknesses of lenses, gaps between the lenses, OALs, TLs, SLs are distances measured based on an optical axis of the lenses.

In addition, in a description of shapes of the lenses, the meaning that one surface of a lens is convex is that an optical axis portion of the surface is convex, and the meaning that one surface of a lens is concave is that an optical axis portion of the surface is concave. Thus, although it is described that one surface of a lens is convex, an edge portion of the lens may be concave. Similarly, although it is described that one surface of a lens is concave, an edge portion of the lens may be convex. In other words, a paraxial region of a lens may be convex, while the remaining portion of the lens outside the paraxial region is either convex, concave, or flat. Further, a paraxial region of a lens may be concave, while the remaining portion of the lens outside the paraxial region is either convex, concave, or flat. In addition, in an embodiment, thicknesses and radii of curvatures of lenses are measured in relation to optical axes of the corresponding lenses.

In accordance with illustrative examples, the embodiments described of the optical system include six lenses with a refractive power. However, the number of lenses in the optical system may vary, for example, between two to six lenses, while achieving the various results and benefits described below. Also, although each lens is described with a particular refractive power, a different refractive power for at least one of the lenses may be used to achieve the intended result.

$\begin{matrix} {Z = {\frac{{cr}^{2}}{1 + \sqrt{1 - {\left( {1 + k} \right)c^{2}r^{2}}}} + {Ar}^{4} + {Br}^{6} + {Cr}^{8} + {Dr}^{10} + {Er}^{12} + {Fr}^{14} + {Gr}^{16} + {Hr}^{18} + {Jr}^{20}}} & \left\lbrack {{Equation}\mspace{14mu} 1} \right\rbrack \end{matrix}$

In Equation 1, c represents an inverse number of a radius of curvature of a corresponding lens, k represents a conic constant, and r represents a distance from a certain point on an aspherical surface to an optical axis. In addition, A to J represent aspherical surface constants, and Z (or SAG) represents a distance between a certain point on an aspherical surface and an apex of the aspherical surface in an optical axis direction.

The optical imaging system further includes a filter, an image sensor, and a diaphragm.

The filter is disposed between the sixth lens and the image sensor. The filter may block a portion of wavelengths of light to enhance the capture of a clear image. In one embodiment, the filter blocks light of an infrared wavelength.

The image sensor forms an imaging plane. For example, a surface of the image sensor may form the imaging plane.

The diaphragm is arranged to adjust an amount of light incident through a lens. For example, the diaphragm is disposed between the second lens and the third lens. Alternatively, the diaphragm can be disposed between the third lens and the fourth lens.

The optical imaging system may satisfy one or any combination of the following conditional expressions.

0.7<TL/f<1.0  [Conditional Expression 1]

0.15<R1/f<0.32  [Conditional Expression 2]

−3.5<f/f2<−0.5  [Conditional Expression 3]

0.1<D45/TL<0.7  [Conditional Expression 4]

1.6<Nd6<1.75  [Conditional Expression 5]

0.3<tan θ<0.5  [Conditional Expression 6]

2.0<f/EPD<2.7  [Conditional Expression 7]

In the above conditional expressions, TL represents a distance from an object-side surface of the first lens to an imaging plane. In Conditional Expressions 2 and 3, f represents a total focal length of the optical imaging system, and f2 represents a focal length of the second lens, and R1 represents a radius of curvature of the object-side surface of the first lens. In Conditional Expression 4 and 5, D45 represents a distance from an image-side surface of the fourth lens to an object-side surface of the fifth lens, and Nd6 represents a refractive index of the sixth lens. In Conditional Expression 6, θ represents a half angle of view of the optical imaging system. In Conditional Expression 7, EPD represents a diameter of an entrance aperture and f again represents the total focal length of the optical imaging system.

Conditional Expression 1 is a condition for enhancing the miniaturization of the optical imaging system. For example, if an optical imaging system is outside of an upper limit value of Conditional Expression 1, it may be difficult to miniaturize the optical imaging system, and thus, it may be difficult to mount the optical imaging system in a portable terminal. Further, if an optical imaging system is outside of a lower limit value of Conditional Expression 1, it may be difficult to manufacture the optical imaging system.

Conditional Expression 2 is a condition for manufacturing the first lens to configure a telescopic optical imaging system. For example, if a first lens is outside of an upper limit value of Conditional Expression 2, a longitudinal spherical aberration may be increased and a focal length of the optical imaging system may be reduced. Further, if a first lens is outside of a lower limit value of Conditional Expression 2, a focal length of the optical imaging system may be increased, but the manufacturing thereof may be difficult.

Conditional Expression 3 is a parameter of the second lens to implement a high-resolution optical imaging system. For example, if a second lens is outside of a numerical range of Conditional Expression 3, deterioration in an image may occur by increasing astigmatism of the optical imaging system.

Conditional Expression 4 is a ratio of parameters to configure a telescopic optical imaging system. For example, if an optical imaging system is outside of a lower limit value of Conditional Expression 4, it may be difficult to use the optical imaging system as a telescopic optical imaging system due to a reduction in focal length. Further, if an optical imaging system is outside of an upper limit value of Conditional Expression 4, it may be difficult to miniaturize the optical imaging system due to an increase in a total length TL of an optical system.

Conditional Expression 5 is a parameter of the fifth lens to implement a high-resolution optical imaging system. For example, the fifth lens, satisfying a numerical range of Conditional Expression 5, may have a low Abbe number of 26 or less, which thus corrects astigmatism, longitudinal chromatic aberrations, and magnification aberrations.

Conditional Expression 6 is a range of angle of view to configure a telescopic optical imaging system, and Conditional Expression 7 is a numerical range of F numbers for a high-resolution optical imaging system.
